im sorry to say but im leaving the gm family
My cousin is buying a porsche panamera 4S and said he's going to give me his 2008 bmw x5 4.8L for trade in price
Wont be until the summer time but its coming soon enough
You guys wont be forgotten and i'll still check in every once in a while to like the amazing pics
Great forum thats saved me hundreds if not thousands on fixes and mods
Special thanks to everyone whos put up with me and sent me info through PMs and Emails (you know who you guys are)
My brother is getting his G2 in june so if everything goes well i'll be giving him the voy
Also switched over to the sony xperia z1 which is waterproof so i wont be worried about dropping this one in the toilet
I'll upload some pics when i figure out how lol
Sorry to hear you'll be leaving, but it looks like you're going to be in a sweet ass ride. Don't gotta worry about trying to get more power out of the i6 or swapping in a v8 or trading in for an SS now lol. Make sure you update us with pics every once in a while

I agree on the pickup tool. They're just handy to have anyway. There was a kit at Wal-Mart, like $7-10 and came with a telescoping magnetic tool, a flexible retrieval claw, and a telescoping inspection mirror. Can't go wrong for the price
For the magnet, you could search around for one or maybe you can get away with just getting a good-power magnet and popping it in there where it needs to be.

I actually got 2 magnetic pickup tools, the problem is the diameter of the head. For this job a smaller diameter head would have been better. 1/4" diameter or so.

Honestly I usually only ever take pics when I do something new, change things around, etc and for the most part nothing has changed recently haha. Been so busy between work and school (finally done with pre reqs, starting to do all my high level math and starting the actual engineering courses) I don't have much time or money to do things lol. I might get a few pics or videos this weekend. The only track we had on the island closed down 8 years ago, and the land owner / care taker is letting a handful of people clean up the track and use it once a week or so. Going to try to do a few runs for fun this Sunday.
That also means that if this track idea gets up and going, it might give me motivation to start working on the motor lol
Haha I appreciate that, I guess I gotta be a little more active with it. I also have 1 friend that wants to do a photoshoot, and another that wants to get a video going with his go pro. Maybe I'll get a little more serious about having those done, then I can share them with you guys.

Prayed that it will continue running...
Looking for a warm spell when I can replace the plugs and hunt down the really bad sound coming from the front of the engine (and it is not a pulley, etc. All are new).

Recieved my lake country backer plate and pads to complete my detail arsenal. Cant wait to start detailing and finally do a paint correction. My black paint will hopefully finally be flawless.
I also painted my Chevy hitch cover with some Krylon fusion paint and put it on. Looks good. Finally finishes off the ass.

3.4 or 3.8 liter V6? Those are both famous for the lower intake manifold gaskets and also head gaskets going out. Did a buddy's Impala last fall in a parking lot inside the space of one day. Are you mechanically inclined? If so then pick up the Felpro gasket kit, make sure it's the one with the metal, and get to work on it. Get new oil and an oil filter also cause you're gonna have to change the oil, and be sure to pick up some antifreeze while you're at the parts store too. The job is pretty straightforward, just get the proper torque specs for all the bolts and torque things back in the correct sequence, you'll need an inch pounds torque wrench. Also, if you don't have the special rod removal tool, keep the intake and exhaust rods separate when you take off the lifters cuz that's kinda important.

Put then Cree 3157 bulbs in my Envoy's cornering lamps and test drove it after dark. They really made the cornering lamps work nicely, I love how they look now too. (Pics forthcoming in the LED Mod Thread *cough* Dmanns *cough* 
) Whilst driving it I noticed something kinda off, so I did a light check in front of the shop and sure enough my driver's side low beam had burnt out. 
I got approximately 1 year from that SS Ultra bulb, I guess that's about the going rate for them. Put in an old spare for now, looks like maybe the Cree LED headlights aren't as far away as I thought. 
*Looks in wallet and groans*

USED to cost $30 new. The supply certainly is dwindling as it's a discontinued part, and there's no dealers with them anymore. It'd be extremely rare to find a legitimate one that's even new.
Plus you have to inflate the price because it's a GM part, inflate it again because it has a logo they own on it (even though they made/had made for them, these parts), and inflate some more for discontinuation.
$200 seems very reasonable since a Google search turns up nothing but "WTB THIS!" and "Looking for this!" We have a forum post from 2012 looking for this same part, and they were having trouble then as all stock seemed to be gone. Back in 2005.... about $40 at the dealer, per the OS.
You can try http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83639 (tbssowners.com) and hope the guy still makes them. Last post on that thread was a year ago.
